I really really really want a zig-a-zig-aaah

that's funny that you believe in such concepts as "sanity" and "insanity"

@Hojo Thankyou for the analogy. Yes, in a dream you just go with the flow. No exertion necessary.

I realised my problem. I was trying too hard. At everything. The real trick is to "not try", and just let things happen naturally. Instead of forcing meditation, for example, with some special technique, one should just allow things to take their course without any effort. Just thought I'd share, so that someone may be helped by this insight.

I second that. Peace is all I want.

This is how my life is going at the moment - I spend most of my time meditating, but if I'm being honest it could be considered procrastinating. My attempt at being happy is to sit for hours and "let go" of "everything", because I found when I do that I can get to a more peaceful state. This means that I am living life kind of like a monk. At one point about 6 months ago I created a goal for myself, and started working towards it. In my mind, I was gonna have a perfect body, perfect girlfriend, perfect house, perfect job. I thought that this is a reasonable life to work towards, and that by working towards it that I would be happy. I found out after a month of working towards these goals that I was more miserable than ever. I was working towards them in a regimented fashion. So what happened was that I calmed down and started doing nothing again. I decided that it wasn't worth working towards anything, because nothing lasts anyway, and I look at people such as property developers and they don't actually seem to be happy. Like Leo says in some of his videos, they are confusing success with happiness. Money doesn't bring lasting happiness. But also, doing absolutely nothing is making me fat and I think I could be enjoying life more. Maybe I just need to get the balance right between "doing" and being". Does anyone have any thoughts?

Truth + Humour heals Tumours

Why am I as God, dreaming up a bunch of retards on a stupid forum? If I am God, and I am dreaming this up, then it's a pretty fucking retarded dream.

I have been sitting contemplating this for a long time. I understand that everything occurs inside my mind, and there is nothing outside of my mind (that I can experience). This can be a liberating experience, and I can see why it can be considered as an "awakening". However, I still question this idea of absolute solipsism. Because I am so affected by what seems to be "outside" forces, and how come this is the case? If absolute solipsism were the case, then wouldn't I have omnipotence, hence the ability to have complete control over consciousness? I was in a meeting last night, with a group of around 20 people. I was quietly focusing on solipsism and telling myself that all these people were in my mind. If they were, then I would be able to stay completely calm, and not be affected by any of them. But I WAS affected. The dude sitting to my left was clearly very tense, and there was a lot of aggressive energy coming from him, although he didn't seem to realise. As hard as I tried, I couldn't avoid being affected. How can one seemingly be affected by others if absolute solipsism is true?

@NewKidOnTheBlock Listen to Jordan Peterson - clean your room.

@Zenterus Look at the film American Psycho. At least the protagonist realises he doesn't exist, which is one facet of awakening.

The mind does not exist in the head, The head exists in the mind! So does the body. You are dreaming your entire body. You are imagining suffering, I got it today!

No, it's made from pickled onions.
